An Evening with Amy Pease
Wednesday, January 14
6:30 pm
Location: Shorewood Village Center
In conjunction with Boswell Book Company, the Shorewood Public Library presents an evening with award-winning Wisconsin author Amy Pease, who appears with the follow-up to her riveting debut, Northwoods. Her latest is Wildwood, a thrilling novel about a mother-son law enforcement team who must confront buried secrets in their small town as they work to expose a conspiracy that goes far beyond the tight-knit community. Pease will be in conversation with bestselling author Nick Petrie.
Deputy Sheriff Eli North has spent the year getting his life back together, staying sober, repairing relationships, and working through his PTSD from his military deployment. When an undercover informant disappears and all signs point to murder, Eli must expose the dark underbelly of his idyllic Wisconsin small town while safeguarding his newfound stability. But soon, Eli and his mother, the sheriff, are pulled deeper into a violent criminal network built on the backs of the lost and forgotten. As the case deepens, loyalties fracture and the line between justice and survival begins to blur. In a town where everyone has something to hide, exposing the truth may cost them everything.
